Improvement in lubricants



UNITED STATES PATENT OFFIoE.

SAMUEL FRAZER, OF GALENA, ILLINOIS.

IMPROVEM ENT IN LUBRICANTS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 219,455, dated September 9, 1879; application filed June 7, 1879.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, SAMUEL FRAZER, of Galena, in the county of J o Daviess, and in the State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Axle-Grease;

and do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof.

The nature of my invention consists in a composition for axle-glease, as will be hereinafter more fully set forth.

January 12, 1860, Letters Patent No. 28,663 were granted to me for the distillation of oil from resin, in which patent I described diiferent qualities of oil, called, respectively, Nos. 1, 2, 3, and 4.

These different oils I use to form my axlegrease in the following; manner: I first dissolve one-halt pound of sal-soda in three pints of water, and mix the same with one-half gallon No. 1 rosin-oil and two and a half gallons No. 4 rosin -oil. These are then stirred together, after which ten pounds of fine sifted ment or foreign matter will settle to the bottom. I then mix one gallon No.1 rosin-oil, three and a half gallons No. 2 rosin-oil, and four and two-thirds gallons No. 3 rosinoil, which are placed in a keg or other vessel, after which the first mixture above described is pour'edofl' into such vessel, and the whole thoroughly stirred, when the axle-grease is completed.

Havin g thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The compound for axle-grease herein described, composed of sal-soda, water, lime, and the four qualities of rosin-oil known as Nos. 1, 2, 3, and 4, substantially as set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand and seal this 17th day of May, 1879.
